How To Manage Software Complexity | Martin Thompson In The Engineering Room Ep. 4

Описание: In this episode, Dave Farley chats with Martin Thompson. Martin is a world-class software developer and leading expert on high performance computing, Java and concurrent systems.

Dave and Martin worked together to create one of the world’s highest performance financial exchanges. They discuss here excellence in software development, what it takes to move from software development into software engineering, mechanical sympathy, and some of the attributes that make you a great developer. It's not just about being smart enough to deal with high cyclomatic complexity, but about striving for great feedback and truly simple solutions.
